"Gwen and Cousin Clo, as she calls her, very kindly asked me to go there if I came to London; and I suppose I shall, if my sister Georgie and her husband are not at Roehampton. Anyway, even if I am not there, I am sure they will be delighted to see you.... Oh no! Roehampton's much too far to come with it, and I can easily call for it." This was most ingenious, for it requested Mr.
He sends me his letter to Lord W. Bentinck upon the subject. It seems by this letter, which adverts to other topics, that the spirit in Bengal is very bad that Lord W. has hitherto done nothing to check it, and that with the press in his power he has allowed it to be more licentious than it ever was before. December 14. Found at Roehampton a letter from the Duke enclosing one addressed by Mrs.
"I suppose," she would say, "it is useless to resist, for I observe 'tis the same everywhere. Lady Roehampton says she never has her way with her gardens. It is no use speaking to Lord St. Jerome, for, though he is afraid of nothing else, I am sure he is afraid of Hawkins." The only way that Lady St. Jerome could manage Hawkins was through Father Coleman.
I am sure I meet youth every day who, compared with Lord Roehampton, could have no chance with my sex men who can neither feel, nor think, nor converse. And then he is famous, and powerful, and fashionable, and knows how to talk to women. And this must all tell with a banker's daughter, dying, of course, to be a grande dame. It will do. He may not be young, but he is irresistible.
The crowning social incident, however, was when Lord Roehampton opened his own house for the first time since his widowhood, and received the Neuchatels at a banquet not inferior to their own. This was a great triumph for Lady Montfort, who thought the end was at hand. "Life is short," she said to Lord Roehampton that evening. "Why not settle it to-night?"
Again the familiar phrase rang out, and once more I apologised for being a female, and was obliged to make arrangements to return to the private nursing home where I had been in August. The year was up, and here I was still having operations. I was disgusted in the extreme. When I was at last fit to go to Roehampton the question of accommodation again arose.
That will be an additional element of domestic happiness." "O Myra! that you should say such things!" exclaimed Adriana. "What things?" "That I should marry Lord Roehampton." "I never said anything of the kind. Whom you should marry is a question you must decide for yourself. All that I said was, that if you marry Lord Roehampton, it is fortunate he is so much liked by Mr. Neuchatel."
I saw the Duke of Clarence's letter to the Duke of W. Halford thinks the expectoration is an additional evil. June 19. Remained till half-past two, when I was obliged to come away, having a dinner at Roehampton. Indeed I do not think that upon a point affecting the revenues of India I ought to vote as a judge. Brougham ridiculed the Directors who sat there in a mass, nine of them.
All these were qualities which Lord Roehampton possessed with reference to the affairs over which he had long presided, and in the present instance, following the minister, he was particularly happy. He had a good case, and he was gratified by the success of Endymion.
I do not see why we should have resigned. I wish I could see Lord Roehampton." Affairs did not proceed so rapidly as the triumphant Zenobia expected. They were out, no question about that; but it was not so certain who was in. A day passed and another day, and even Zenobia, who knew everything before anybody, remained in the dark.
